How Comparably ranked these CEOs
Comparably just published its ranking of the most highly rated CEOs, following its award for companies with the best company culture.
"Job seekers place value on these particular rankings because they want to learn from and be inspired by exceptional CEOs who have these attributes," Jason Nazar, Comparably co-founder and CEO, told Insider in an email.
To find the top CEOs at companies with no more than 500 employees, or small and midsize companies, Comparably used anonymous employee ratings. These ratings using questions regarding the company CEO were collected from around the end of November 2020 to around the end of November 2021.
Nazar said that Alessio Alionco placing at the top of the small and midsize list "is a testament to his strong leadership at Pipefy. Employees from multiple departments commend his people-first values, transparency, and empathy."
The above information, including the anonymous employee quotes, were given to Insider from Comparably. The full CEO list for small and midsize companies is available on Comparably. The large company version of the ranking is there as well.
